From Our Clients
It is our privilege and passion to help guide and support families through their most important transitions.
Best choice
“After numerous consultations with other lawyers, it became clear Samantha was the best choice for the job. Despite given a short period of time for preparation, she made sure that we were ready for anything that could happen, even addressing preparation for the future depending on the outcome of the hearing. Samantha answered all of our questions, was understanding, and laid everything out clearly. She was also transparent about what to expect financially and was conscious of trying to stay within our budget. Through her diligent and thorough preparation, we received the best possible outcome and I am so grateful to have found her.”
Great Lawyer!!
“I hired Samantha for a child custody case in a somewhat complicated situation. She was very thorough. She collected background information, asked a lot of questions, and made sure she understood all aspects of my case. She is organized, focused and a straight shooter when it comes to giving feedback about what to expect. She provides guidance when needed and makes herself available on urgent occasions. She is the best I’ve come across. She will fight for your case. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for an honest, empathic and caring lawyer!!“
Absolutely recommend
“Samantha did a phenomenal job in closing my case. It was open far longer than it should have been, but when I hired her it was finally over. Considering who we were dealing with on the other side, I felt protected in so many ways and Samantha made sure I fully understood every step of the way. I cannot recommend her enough, Samantha is an incredible lawyer and I’m grateful I had her in my corner.“
Phenomenal Lawyer
“Samantha is truly a first class lawyer. From the moment I met her till my case was finalized Samantha was attentive to details and responsive to my questions. Samantha’s writing, legal arguments, and presence in the court room really set her apart from the other lawyers I encountered. Samantha helped guide me through one of the toughest parts of my life by explaining the legal process to me, what to expect next, and how to achieve the results I sought. The biggest compliment I can give is that while I know Samantha had other cases to handle, she made me feel as if I was her only client. Samantha will be my first call if I ever need a lawyer again. I highly recommend Samantha.“
